WAOQ (100.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Brantley, Alabama, USA. The station, which first began regular broadcasting in 1999, is owned by Christopher Johnson and Robert Williams, through licensee J&W Communications LLC.

Programming

WAOQ broadcasts a classic country music format.[1] In addition to its usual music programming, WAOQ features news at the top of the hour, local community announcements on the half-hour, plus weather at the top and bottom of every hour. Notable programming includes a two-hour "Swap Shop" each weekday morning, two hours of Southern Gospel music on Family Gospel Time each weekday evening, plus a Sunday morning church service from First United Methodist of Luverne.

History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on July 10, 1995.[2] The new station was assigned the call letters WAOQ by the FCC on December 1, 1995.[3] After several extensions, WAOQ received its license to cover from the FCC on March 21, 2000.[4]

Construction permit

In December 2008, the station applied for a construction permit that will allow it to change its community of license to tiny Goshen, Alabama.[5] The application is contingent upon a simultaneous application to allow WEZZ to move from Monroeville, Alabama, to Brantley and take over the current WAOQ broadcast tower.
